Barricades

	  		D  E  G  G x2   Bm7  G x2 
 
Bm7                            G 
close my eyes and ask myself a question 
Bm7                   G 
why is it i do what i do 
Bm7                   G 
am i looking for some happy definition 
Bm7                                    G 
of life and love in the corners of the truth 
Bm7               G 
or am i just some curious bystander 
Bm7                                    G 
looking at the world through a child's eyes 
Bm7             G 
sunlight always shining on my shoulders 
Bm7                           G 
while the storm rages on deep inside, deep inside 

       D                            C 
and it seems so hard to keep it all together 
         F#                              G 
when the walls are falling down on every side 
          D                   C     
yeah, but i'll be damned if i give up on it easy 
     F#                         G 
i've worked too hard to get the barricades this high
 
 
         Bm7                            G 
now this world's a stage we're meant to play on 
Bm7                              G 
direction from inside on what to do 
Bm7             G 
i know i should have all of the answers 
Bm7                         G 
deep inside i haven't got a clue, got a clue 
 
chorus 
 
break:  G  D  A x6 
 
bridge: 
G                D           A 
told myself that i would be okay 
G                D              A 
told myself that i'd be alright no doubt 
G               D                   A 
somewhere low i know that i've been lying 
G 
can't believe it took me thirty years 
D                A 
figure that shit out
